Live music adds the finishing touch to your Ceremony and Reception. We hope this plan gives you an insight into the versatile and flexible roles of our musicians.       The Ceremony       Setting the scene - Arrival of the guests   Already at this early stage in your celebration the atmosphere will be charged with excited expectation. A small and intimate group of musicians playing soothing music similar to Salut d’Amour by Elgar or Bach’s Air on a G string while guests start finding their seats will compose and complement the mood.       The magic moment – Entrance of the bride   The most anticipated moment in the day is the bride’s first appearance. Trust the musicians to announce your arrival and accompany you as you walk down the aisle to a joyful musical performance. Favorites include the triumphal wedding marches by Wagner and Mendelssohn or Handel’s enraptured Arrival of the Queen of Sheba.       Prelude to a kiss – Musical dedications   Leading up to the pledging of the vows, the couple often wish to enhance the moment by listening to a performance of a piece of music that means something special to them. Our skilled and talented musicians can arrange and perform a piece of your choosing.           The final confirmation – Signing the register   During the concluding stage of the ceremony, guests can take pleasure in listening to the timeless Pachelbel’s Canon or the ebullient Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart while the couple and witnesses sign the register and photographs are taken at the table. We adjust the timing of our performance to be beautifully coordinated with the proceedings.       Walking towards the future – Exit of the bride and groom   The ceremony is over and the radiant couple walks down the aisle arm in arm to jubilant and glorious harmony such as the Hornpipe from Handel’s Water Music or Autumn from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.       The Reception       The fun starts here – Drinks Reception   After the ceremony, the newlyweds and family members are often engaged in photo sessions. The musicians can now move to a central area where drinks are served and guests mingle. All our musicians have an extensive repertoire of lighter musical numbers such as Summer Time and Autumn Leaves to keep your guests entertained.       The feast – Wedding Meal   A variety of easy listening pieces and light classically flavored background music enhances and compliments the enjoyment of the main meal in an unobtrusive and elegant style.
